What time is it? Watches and horology

I have this in my ‘watch’ list on eBay... very nice!

Well, maybe one day.

I'm considering this, but still not sure about 34mm...

You're not 30 yet, you've still got plenty of time to become enough of an old man to consider a Rolex. :)

U work for Alan Sugar AICMFP

If I do, it'd be a DJ, simple OP or Sub like the above. By the time I'm considering it they'll be well into 5 figures... oh wait

Edit: or an Explorer! how could I forget it

Yeah jumbo is nice, fair bit older I guess, 90's is it?? Yeah I think the 36mm in the 76214 is harder to come by as the 34mm don't sell due to the size. I think along the same lines as you as I think something around 38mm would be perfect for my wrist on a dressier watch, which is the case size for a jumbo edition, no??

Ha! I'd love a modern 36mm silver dial datejust. Used to prefer the look of the 16014 vintage models but they're so light because of the old bracelets that they lost a fair bit of appeal for me.
To be honest out of everything Rolex wise I wanted the white 39mm or the 36mm explorer. That white is gonna be a solid investment for those lucky enough to get one. Not the reason I wanted one but never hurts on top.

I read Invitica

Still want a 214270.

, I wouldn't wear it, because of how much attention they get.

So many people are wearing homages to the point you might actually not notice other wearing it.

You can even buy a fake for around £500 and nearly impossible to tell the difference.

Not sure exactly when the jumbo is from, but I’d say 80s-90s.
This is 37mm on an 8” wrist. It has 44mm lug to lug. The 34mm Tudor has 43mm lug to lug. I’m gonna have to try the 34mm version I reckon. I’ll do it for us :-)

That’s true. However, I’d be conscious that I’m wearing a small car on my wrist. And I don’t want to wear a homage either. Well apart from my Seiko 62mas homage/reissue from... Seiko :-)

I think this one is more eye-catching, it's certainly more rare, but no-one has ever spotted it.

I think to those people outside the hobby a watch is a watch.

That is beautiful. But isn’t 34mm the infamous boy scout size that Joe bought a few years ago and let go as it was ‘too wee’?

My bad, that one was 32mm

That’s true. I don’t know how many people know of Tintin as well.

How much are you after for the Peg’?

thanks to @inchpincher any mark on the dial is a no no to me and I immediately walk away :-)

I wish I followed my own advice on that one.

@freddo I’m not familiar with that ref but are the silver hands/gold markers combo original?

Well apart from my Seiko 62mas homage/reissue from... Seiko :-)

If you wanna be all techinical, the current submariner is a homage/reissues of the original!

It isn't really. The Submariner has never ceased production since it's introduction as far as I'm aware, so it's been a constantly evolving design. No recreation here.

hey, nice swatch....

Ha, excellent! Genuinely interested to see what it wears like, saying that my wrists are super skinny at 6.5 inches.

Here's a 34mm on a 7in wrist. To me it looks great.

Got a high res of that pic? I do like an off white dial.

This is cracking piece of dial design (ignore the gaping endlink)... https://zeppelinerinvest.com/
